Chinese Glass Noodles With Peanut Sauce
from: Susiecat too

"Glass" or "cellophane" noodles are made from mung beans, and are so called because they become almost transparent when cooked. The Chinese name for them is "sai fun" and you can find them in an Asian specialty grocery, or in the international section of a well-stocked traditional grocery.

SERVES 4 -6

1 (4 ounce) package sai-fun noodles (mung bean noodles)

2 cups vegetable soup stock

For the sauce

2 tablespoons peanut butter

4 tablespoons hot tap water

3 tablespoons light soy sauce

1 pinch sugar

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

garlic-red chili paste, to taste

Garnish

green onion, chopped

1 tablespoon dry roasted peanuts, chopped

Soak the noodles for 1 hour and drain.

Place in a saucepan with the soup stock and simmer until they are tender but not mushy, about 10 minutes.

Drain the stock from the noodles, reserving it for another use. Place the noodles on a tray and refrigerate them for one hour.

Mix the sauce by putting the peanut butter in a 2-cup measuring glass and adding the hot water. Stir with a fork until it is a creamy consistency.

Add the remaining ingredients for the sauce and mix with the chilled noodles.

Place the noodles on a serving dish and garnish with the green onions and peanuts.
